This reassuring story of a child's concern about moving also reveals the hardship of our immigrant forebears and some traditions which helped the settlers and later generations flourish. Erica is sad about leaving behind her best friend and her school. But the move to New Braunfels has the advantage of bringing her close to her grandmother who recruits her help in making molasses cookies for Christmas. This book will give elementary age children comfort about changes in their lives while they learn of an interesting time in Texas history and the holiday customs which came with the settlers from Germany.

Enjoyable reading for learning more about family traditions and their origin. Of particular interest to readers curious about local (New Braunfels, TX) heritage.
